The Impossible - 8 / 10 - Made me want to man-cry a couple times, better than I expected.

Rush Hour - 7.5 / 10 - Good old formulaic action comedy

Rush Hour 2 - 7.5 / 10 - Just as good

Rush Hour 3 - 6 / 10 - Not nearly as good as the first two.

Edit: Forgot one

I give it a year - 8 / 10 - I laughed, a lot. pretty interesting chick flick if you have to see one.

The Life of Pi

8/10

One of the best cinematography i've ever seen. Such a beautiful movie. A really nice story beautifully told. A must see if you like movies (people with atheism as a religion might not like/understand the ending tough).

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

7.5/10

Nothing unexpected here if you have already read the book and seen lotr movies by Jackson. The magic of the middle earth recreation by Jackson might not be as powerful as it was for lotr but it's still a nice movie for the fans of the Tolkien books (like me). The movie is something like 2 hours and 40 minutes long and i did not look at my watch once. Usually this is a good thing ;) recommended if you liked lotr movies and liked the book.

Chernobyl Diaries

5.5/10

I can't fault the director for trying to do something with a low budget. But trying aint enough in this case (not even close to be). The atrocious script did not help him tough. The beginning of the movie is actually sort of nice. Nothing special but still totally watchable. But the end is stupid. Does the soviet union type of jokes still work ? The ending was way too easy and did not challenge the viewer. Acting was poor. Script was poor. It was basically a lower quality The Descent set in Chernobyl. The special effects (or lack of) and the recreation of Chernobyl was okay considering the low budget of the movie. No excuse for the bad acting and bad script tough. Movies like The Descent, Eden Lake, The Hills Have Eyes or High Tension are far superior.

    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri by David Uzondu Image via Apple Today, at the opening keynote of Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC), the company announced Siri AI, a "reimagined version" of its voice assistant that runs on Apple Intelligence. Siri AI helps you do things like draft messages, edit photos, and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations. You can access Siri AI through several methods, depending on the device. While "Hey Siri" remains active, iPhone users can also press the side button, swipe down from the Dynamic Island, or use a system-wide context menu on Mac to analyze on-screen text. Image via Apple If you ever need to go back and check previous interactions, you can open the dedicated Siri app to view your entire conversation history. This application privately syncs your data using iCloud, leveraging local Foundational Models alongside Apple's secure Private Cloud Compute servers to keep user data inaccessible to outsiders. On the iPhone, Apple built the assistant into the Camera app, bringing Visual Intelligence to help you split bills or count calories. This feature also expands to the iPad and Mac, letting users use screenshots or shortcuts to analyze images, while Apple Vision Pro users can ask questions about objects in their physical room. Other things to know about Siri AI include systemwide dictation that automatically handles punctuation and formatting, customizable voice speeds, and a spatial 3D interface built for Apple Vision Pro. Apple also added Smart Stack suggestions on the Apple Watch to help you continue recent conversations directly from your wrist. The road to Siri AI was quite bumpy for Apple, which initially promised these capabilities at WWDC 2024 when the Cupertino tech giant debuted Apple Intelligence. Apple later turned to Google, signing a $1 billion annual deal to use Gemini models instead of relying solely on its own in-house systems. However, this deal came only after consumers sued Apple because features Apple promised "did not exist at the time, do not exist now, and will not exist for two or more years." Siri AI is available for developer testing on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and visionOS 27.

      And within the EU all this Siri AI stuff will probably work around 2030 and the IPhone 25 🤣
